  • Can disulfide groups reduce molecular weight after triggering acrylamide?
  • The introduction of disulfide groups in the main chain of synthetic vinyl polymers is one way to reduce the molecular weight after triggering. Cystine (disulfide form of the natural amino acid, cysteine) has been described as a potential weak link able to react with acrylamide .
  • How does polyacrylamide biodegradation affect the fate of related polyacrylic acid?
  • Polyacrylamide copolymers, either anionic or cationic, are potentially quickly converted to corresponding polyacrylate salts by deamination or hydrolysis. Therefore, biodegradation of related polyacrylic acid (or related salts) provides insights in polyacrylamide biodegradation and their fate.
  • Does acrylamide degrade in the presence of glyphosate?
  • This result was confirmed by Vers through a high-performance liquid chromatography method . Vers’s study confirmed that the polymer does not degrade to acrylamide in the presence of glyphosate or sunlight or any combination of the two.
  • Does polyacrylamide depolymerize on acrylamide monomer?
  • Indeed, King et al. and Smith et al. confirmed the innocuity of polyacrylamide, whereas acrylamide monomer is classified as neurotoxic. In another study led on polyacrylamide used in agriculture, Anh et al. showed that polyacrylamide does not depolymerize on toxic acrylamide monomer, despite a misleading title .
